Electricity & Current
The flow of electricity along a conductor
Electric Current
The standard unit for measuring the strength or rate of an electric current in a conductor
Amp
Different types of currents are called these
Modalities
A DC, using a negative and positive pole, that is reduced to a safe, low voltage
Galvanic Current
The distance between successive peaks of electromagnetic waves.
Wavelength
Any substance , material, or medium that conducts electricity
Conductor
The unit of power and indicates how much electric energy is being used in a second
Watt
Electronic facial and scalp treatments are commonly referred to as this
Electrotherapy
Used to facilitate deep pore cleansing
Desincrustation
This has a short wavelength and is less penetrating than visible light
Ultraviolet light
A form of energy that produces physical, magnetic, chemical, or thermal effects when in motion.
Electricity
This prevents the overheating of electrical wires by preventing excessive current from passing through a circuit.
Fuse
An applicator used to direct the electric current from the machine to the clients skin
Elactrode
infuses acidic substances into the deeper tissues using the galvanic current from the positive toward the negative
Cataphoresis
A type of medical device that uses electromagnetic radiation and a medium for hair removal and various skin treatments
Lasers
A substance that does not easily transmit electricity
insulator
An outlet that senses imbalances in an electric circuit.terrupter
Ground Fault Interrupter
This indicates the negative or positive of an electric current
Polarity
Infuses alkaline products into the tissues from the negative to the positive
Anaphoresis
Used to reduce acne, increase skin circulation, and improve collagen content in the skin
LED
Light Emitting Diode
A highly effective conductor used in electricity wiring and electric motors
Copper
Another important way of promoting electrical safety
Grounding
Depending on the rules and regulations in your state, modalities may be one of these currents
Galvanic Current
Microcurrent
Tesla High-frequency Current
The process of introducing water-soluble products into the skin
Iontophoresis
These are used to protect the clients eyes during light therapy treatments
